Darknet Diaries. Full of fascinating cybersecurity stories and interviews, with both whitehats and blackhats.
If it gets to the Supreme Court, I'm sure they'll go down on them all night long.
FYI the red ones are studding sails, often called stu'nsails because sailors love leaving off letters (like how "boatswain" is often called "bosun"). Also, jibs are staysails; staysails are any sail that slides up and down a stay, which are the pieces of standing rigging that support the masts from the front and the back.
The tl;dr from the article (which is actually worth a read):
The very short version: Unix PIDs do start at 0! PID 0 just isn’t shown to userspace through traditional APIs. PID 0 starts the kernel, then retires to a quiet life of helping a bit with process scheduling and power management. Also the entire web is mostly wrong about PID 0, because of one sentence on Wikipedia from 16 years ago.
I wouldn't think anti-collision systems would be feasible on a container ship: they're too big with too much inertia. It can take miles to slow to a stop or execute a turn. It's not like a car, where you can just hit the brakes and have immediate results. All that extra braking and re-accelarating would burn a bunch more fuel, too.
If you're pulling on a rope really hard, don't wrap it around your hand to get a better grip. If it starts to pull away from you, you won't be able to let go, and if someone runs up to help and starts hauling on the end, your hand is going to be in a world of pain.
Ron Wyden is a treasure:
"The U.S. government should not be funding and legitimizing a shady industry whose flagrant violations of Americans' privacy are not just unethical, but illegal," Wyden wrote.
My largely uninformed opinion has always been that it's about monetization: you don't make the kind of money off ads on a blog that you can off a popular YouTube site. That, of course, is all Google's decision. Presumably advertisers are willing to pay a lot more for video ad placement than for banner ads or something.
Boo, paywall. Anyone have a list of the affected airlines?
I know time got weird with the pandemic, but that was not actually before 1990, believe it or not.

Oregon here. Black or blue pen, in the comfort of your own home. Ballots get mailed out weeks ahead of time to everyone in the state, then you can pop them in the mail or bike over to the local library or wherever your closest dropbox is. Ranked choice voting for Portland for the first time this year, too.
